Re: [computer-go] How to play go with other programe?

[Don Dailey <drd@xxxxxxx>]

Probably, what is missing is a  useful library to interface it to your
program.  I  just made  another post  where I said  the library  was a
simple as  the interface to the  library itself, but  this is probably
not exactly  true, a  library could  take a little  of the  pain away,
especially for Windows users.

Plus, a library could  provide multiple communication methods, such as
the  GTP/TCP you suggest, STDIO, SERIAL,  etc.

   Standards are useful.  A (at least one) transport should be specified, but
   it's pedantic arguing if the specification should be part of the GTP spec
   proper, or an add-on.

   Think about the relationship to HTML and HTTP.  What made the web *really*
   useful was the standardization of both of them.  Imagine if only HTML were
   standardized and you had to figure out your own way of getting the documents
   from each web site you wanted to look at!

   Having the GTP spec be transport agnostic is fine, as long as other
   standards do define transports.  I have advocated the name of GTP/TCP to
   describe how Go programs should talk GTP over TCP (ports, who opens, maybe a
   URL format specification, session level stuff like reestablishing broken
   connections, etc).

   Then, if someone wants to run a tournament, the specifications could be
   pretty simple, all that is left to specify is the physical connection.
   Example: "Protocol will be GTP/TCP, physical layers available: 10BT, 100BT".
